Featuring performances by Orgone, Dengue Fever, Jungle Fire, Tutu Sweeney and the Brothers Band, La Chamba, Low Leaf and the Ascension Crew, Boogaloo Assassins, Sin Color and new this year, the Locals Only stage where new talents will make their debut.

On Saturday, August 20th, 2016, from 4-10 p.m., Los Angeles Councilmember José Huizar and Center for the Arts Eagle Rock proudly present the 17th Annual Eagle Rock Music Festival (ERMF). This ‘by locals, for locals’ street festival celebrates the diverse communities of Northeast Los Angeles by transforming six blocks of historic Colorado Boulevard into a vibrant celebration of music and culture, featuring eclectic local artists, emerging talents, and genre-defying producers and DJs. While the festival's footprint (Colorado Boulevard from Eagle Rock Boulevard to Argus Drive) is the same as in year's past, the focus this year is on a more streamlined lineup featuring Northeast Los Angeles' top musical talent.

“The Eagle Rock Music Festival is an opportunity to highlight a great community and the importance of supporting our local musicians and artists,” said Councilmember Huizar who has worked with Center for the Arts Eagle Rock to make the festival one of the City's most popular musical events. “This year’s Eagle Rock Music Festival will emphasize and promote our local talent and we welcome all to come out and experience the best that Northeast Los Angeles has to offer.”

The Experimental Stage, located in the back patio of Colombo’s Italian Restaurant and Jazz Club, features video projections by Travis Flournoy and showcases a transcendent mix of world sounds with local flavor from Mark de Clive-Lowe, Low Leaf and the Ascension Crew, Dhara World Music, GENR8R, Sin Color, and DJ Seano.

The Americana Stage housed in the historic Women’s Twentieth Century Club, will showcase folk, swing and bluegrass with Reverend Tall Tree, Leftover Cuties, We the Folk, Harrison, Lipka, & Winsor, and Mostly Kosher.

The Family Stage, at Eagle Rock City Hall, presents a variety of craft activities with Center for the Arts Eagle Rock teaching artists and performances from friends and neighbors Suzy MacReady and the Book She Likes to Ready from Eastside Theater Works, Noches de Trova, Tim Griffin and the Dahli Mamas and Dahli Papas.

This year features the debut of two new stages, the Locals Stage which features a program of emerging artists selected solely from the Eagle Rock Music Festival’s band application process. The featured acts include WeAreTheBigBang, Sugar Rum Tantrum, Paper Pilots, Salt Petal, The V.U. with beats from DJ Expo and the Comedy Stage at the Coffee Table featuring NELA’s own Erik Escobar, Adam Cozens, Helen Hong, Lou Dimaggio, Greg Santos, Amanda Cohen, Joe Sib, Stephanie Clark and Justin Wood.
